N meteen Thirty-three AT THE CROSSROADS At the crossroads must come a parting and partings are always sad, es- pecially when it means the separation from ones dear to you. When we speak of crossroads, quite naturally a road comes into our thoughts. It is along this road of life that each must pass, carrying his burden. Some bear it cheerfully and climb up the steep hills on high and mount the rough plac- es with ease. Others climb the hill, but reach the top only by struggling and working constantly, while still others, lacking the energy and pep to overcome the obstacles in the way, remain at the bottom. Whatever class a person is in, he must come to the crossroads which go the right and left. Here he must continue his way by himself, leaving his pal to do likewise, but with each one goes the best wishes of his fellowmen. Maybe their next meeting will be in a day, maybe in a year and maybe it will be never, but regardless of the circumstances, each one will keep forever with him the memory of those good wishes given at the parting of the crossroads. Nobody knows what is in store for each one-whether the journey will be happy or sad-long or short-full of triumph or defeat, but whatever the future, at this moment we stand at the crossroads hand in hand, ready to continue on our unknown journey, uplifted and encouraged by the best wishes coming from a heart, true and frank, of a fellow traveller.
